Xciting 500 / Trufuel Ethanol Free 4 Cycle Fuel
« on: May 07, 2012, 03:31:54 PM »
Would anyone consider using this stuff, mixing it with some high octane from the fuel pump? Our local shop sells some VP C9 ethanol free racing fuels. I was told by a mechanic that my scoot would really enjoy a nice cocktail made from a mix like that. I know I enjoy a nice high octane mix myself occasionally, so any opinions on this? For the scooter and not me... ???

Xciting 500 / 2010 500ri quit on me while stopped and idling

Hi all. I read a couple of the posts below about not starting right and sissy mary's posts also. My 500 however is EFI so I have more questions. Background: running fine all over town. It warmed up to almost 90 and I was in a dead crawl of traffic. Then it quit. The only way to keep it running was to keep some throttle on it while squeezing the brake while stopped.

(other thing... I dropped it on an incline earlier I am ashamed to say. I moved from a smaller scoot to a big and tall scoot and didn't take the weight and turning at low speeds into consideration and was paying more attention to what my wife was doing than what I was. That was much earlier in the day)

After a lot of reads and looking at the owners manual I see in plain English... 91 octane or better. Yeah... I have 89 sitting in it right now. With that being said does anyone have any recommendations? Should I mix 93 and a booster in it? I see mention of additives such as sea foam or StarTron (sp)?

Oh, and anyone know where I can get some white touch up paint for the 2010 xciting  :-[

Thanks for any thoughts on this!
